One not revelation a law as well as a pick condoned it!
Below was what Tan Sri Tony Fernandes had been reported to have pronounced as reported by a Star upon 26-4-2007 when a afterwards Minister of Transport, Datuk Chan Kong Choy, voiced thatFAX/AirAsia X Sdn Bhd had to return the Rural Air Services (RAS) in Sabah as well as Sarawak to MAS.
"Fernandes pronounced FAX would be rising AirAsia Long Haul operations soon, as well as which it would be as well distracting to work turbo-propeller aircraft as well."
At a element time, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes didn't discuss it a republic a total law which FAX has unsuccessful to perform a RAS satisfactorily for Sabah as well as Sarawak. It was one of a most misleading statements to say a least.
The full Star inform is reproduced during a end of this article
In 2006 Tan Sri Tony Fernandes/AirAsia Bhd lobbied so tough for RAS during a Badawi's Administration. RAS was taken divided from MAS as well as postulated to AirAsia Bhd. Thereafter, AirAsia Bhd subcontracted RAS to Fly Asian Express Sdn Bhd aka well well known as FAX as well as now well well known as AirAsia X Sdn Bhd. On 2-10-2011 Tan Sri Tony Fernandes additionally claimed in his talk with AgendaDaily online which he got really small helps from a Badawi's Administra! tion. Yo urs truly leaves it to you to decider whether Tan Sri Tony Fernandes was revelati! on a tru th.
Remember Badawi's Administration specifically built LCCT costing a total of about RM250 millions, AirAsia Bhd was given special "rights" to owe Airport Taxes amounting to about RM250 millions, after AirAsia Bhd was postulated RAS it was postulated a funding of about RM180 millions as well as was afterwards allowed to subcontract RAS to a newly incorporated association called Fly Asian Express Sdn Bhd now well well known as AirAsia X Sdn Bhd as well as after a faAero venture Sdn Bhd
ilure to perform RAS it was postulated general flights toLondon, Gold Coast, Melbourne, Paris as well as etc in competition with MAS.
The distinguished shareholders of AirAsia X Sdn Bhd held around Aero Venture Sdn Bhd are:
- DATO KALIMULLAH MASHEERUL HASSAN 14, 835, 900 shares
- LEE KIAN ONN 13, 720, 666 shares
- TAN SRI ANTHONY FRANCIS FERNANDES 33, 855, 194 shares
- DATO' KAMARUDIN MERANUN 65, 375, 587 shares
In a initial place, why must AirAsia Bhd be relying upon a supervision for helps when it is not a inhabitant carrier as well as distinction maximisation orientated but having to perform inhabitant use or duties as a republic envoy where profitability was never a categorical priority. We have been told which it has been doing intensely well with huge profits year in year out. Of course, it was never highlighted in all a press reports which a big chunk of AirAsia Bhd's profits were from un-realised forex gained which could have additionally resulted in losses. Read AgendaDaily online report HERE.
Did Tan Sri Tony Fernandes discuss it a law about whyFAX/AirAsia X Sdn Bhd gave up RAS? The answer is a NO.Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar knew or ought to have known which what Tan Sri Tony Fernandes pronounced in 2007 was not a truth. At a element time, Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar and/or YB Tan Sri Nor Mohammad Yacop, a afterwards really absolute Minister of Finance II, knew of how FAX/AirAsia X Sdn Bhd screwed up a RAS in a really reduced duration of eight months and howsix aircraft were not confirmed or feeble confirmed as well as anothersix aircraft were cannibalised for gangling parts. The intensely poor RAS supposing by FAX/AirAsia X Sdn Bhd have resulted in complaints as well as protests from a Sabah as well as Sarawak State Governments, politicians as well as members of a public.
Tan Sri Tony Fernandes pronounced matter was to make him as well as AirAisia X Sdn Bhd looked good. The afterwards Minister of Transport YB Datuk Chan Kong Choy, who has been concerned in a PKFZ scandals as well as was charged in Courtrecently for three counts of cheating, was fully wakeful of a inability of FAX/AirAsia X Sdn Bhd to yield correct RAS for a people of Sabah as well as Sarawak. The incident got worse when MAS dropped all a technical as well as operational supports to FAX/AirAsia X Sdn Bhd from 26-2-2! 007. After March 2007, a RAS underneath FAX / AirAsia X Sdn Bhd got from bad to worse.
In April 2007 a afterwards Minister of Transport Datuk Chan Kong Choy stepped in to rescue FAX ! / AirAis a X Sdn Bhd by announcing that MAS had to take over a RAS. Presumably, a announcement was meant to save FAX/AirAsia X Sdn Bhd/Tan Sri Tony Fernandes of a embarrassment.
Backgrounds of FAX /AirAsia X Sdn Bhd regarding a RAS in Sarawak & Sarawak:
"AirAsia X
Focusing upon a low-cost, long-haul shred AirAsia X wasestablished in 2007 to yield high-frequency as well as point-to-point networks to a long-haul business. A! irAsia X 's price efficiencies have been derived from maintaining a elementary aircraft fleet as well as a route network based upon low-cost airports, but complex code-sharing as well as pick legacy overheads which import down normal airlines but compromising upon safety. Guests go upon to enjoy low fares, by price assets which you pass upon to a guests.
AirAsia X's efficient as well as arguable operations have been fully protected as well as monitored by Malaysian as well as general regulators, as well as adhere to full general standards. AirAsia X is committed in offering X-citing ! low fare s, X-emplary levels of reserve as well as care, as well as an X-traordinary in-flight as well as use knowledge to all a guest swelling a amazing AirAsia knowledge to X-citing destinations in Australia, New Zealand, China, Taiwan, Japan, Korea, India! , Middle East as well as Europe."
It was history rewritten with no references to Fly Asian Express Sdn Bhd aka FAX or RAS or it is a opposite authorised entity to AirAsia Bhd as well as which it is not a member of IATA, therefore, it was not subjected to a IATA difficult Safety Audit like MAS as well as pick IATA members. Read HERE for a AirAsia X's corporate profile.
Un der normal resources when an airline operator has been found to be financially and/or technically unsound and/or unable to carry out a operation, a Government by a Department of Civil Aviation is avocation bound to stop a Air Operation Certificate (AOC) but not in a box of FAX/AirAsia X Sdn Bhd. Instead FAX/AirAsia X Sdn Bhd was awarded with numerous general routes by a Ministry of Transport. Routes were postulated as yet a Ministry of Transport has no jot down of AirAsia X Sdn Bhd FAX/RAS days. It was a box of WILLFUL BLINDNESS of what had happened to a RAS underneath FAX/AirAsia Sdn Bhd. There was no direct for a refund of a funding of a RM180 million upon a pro rata basis, as a stipulate was consummated prematurely, from AirAsia Bhd or AirAsia X Sdn Bhd by a Badawi's Administration.
Furthermore, wi! th a t rack annals as reported by Stork Fokker dated 3-7-2011 a Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) did not stop a Air Operation Certificate (AOC) of AirAsia X Sdn Bhd. Yours truly believes which no certain actions have been taken by MAS or Khazanah to recover a RM35 millions from AirAsia X Sdn Bhd for refurbishing a un-airworthy aircraft.
Read HERE for similar incidents in pick less developed country! like Ne companion where four of a low price airlines (Air Nepal, Alpine Air, Muktinah Airlines as well as Gorkha Air) have a Air Operation Certificate (AOC) nullified upon 17-7-2010.
Despite a above state of affairs of FAX / AirAsia X Sdn Bhd, a AOC was in tact as well as were awarded with general routes by a Badawi's Administration. Yet, Tan Sri Tony Fernandes pronounced which he got small helps from a Badawi's Administration.
